Yup, it's a pain so we buy the peeled garlic in bulk pretty often and freeze it. We use a lot of garlic...

But the best way imo is:

  1. Cut the ends off (the bottom of the bulb if doing in bulk)
  2. Crush it under a knife halfway
  3. Pinch the opposite end (top of bulb) and the skin should come off

I can do a whole bulb in a minute or so, faster than it takes to chop (then again, i'm slow at chopping). For soups, it doesn't need to be chopped, just toss it in.
